If you are at all interested in true stories about man hunting Tigers in Russia, then just go out and get this book already. I loved it. I thought it a fascinating story with just a touch of "look what man has done to destroy nature" thrown in for good measure.
Don't let the fact that I'm totally enthralled with anything that has to do with Russia dissuade you from reading this book. Even if you don't care about the Taiga, it really was an interesting read.
